iSCSI/ZFS Integration
A. Overview
The goal of this project is to couple ZFS with the iSCSI target in Solaris
specifically to make it as easy to create and export ZVOLs via iSCSI as it
is to create and export ZFS filesystems via NFS. We will add two new ZFS
properties to support this feature.
Yeah!
shareiscsi
Like the 'sharenfs' property, 'shareiscsi' indicates if a ZVOL should
be exported as an iSCSI target. The acceptable values for this property
are 'on', 'off', and 'direct'. In the future, we may support other
target types (for example, 'tape'). The default is 'off'. This property
may be set on filesystems, but has no direct effect; this is to allow
ZVOLs created under the ZFS hierarchy to inherit a default. For
example, an administrator may want ZVOLs to be shared by default, and
so set 'shareiscsi=on' for the pool.
Excellent, I particularly like the fact you can set shareiscsi=on at
the filesystem level to get inheritance.
iscsioptions
This property, which is hidden by default, is used by the iSCSI target
daemon to store persistent information such as the IQN. The contents
are not intended for users or external consumers.
What does "hidden" mean here ? Is there a way to view it ? Just
curious more than anything I don't see a problem.
The usage looks great.
BTW where is the iscsitadm(1M) man page it doesn't seem to be in snv_50.
